Journey's End (2/7/50) - Dinah Washington

I want to be loved with inspiration

I want to be loved starting tonight

Instead of merely holding conversation

Hold me tight

I want to be kissed until I tingle

I want to be kissed starting tonight

Embrace until our heartbeats intermingle

Wrong or right

I feel like acting my age

I’m past the stage of merely turtledoving

(be careful, be careful what you do)

I’m in no mood to resist

And I insist the world owes me a loving

I want to be thrilled to desperation

I want to be thrilled starting tonight

(love me, love me, love me)

With every kind of wonderful sensation

I want to be loved

I feel like acting my age

I’m past the stage of merely turtledoving

I’m in no mood to resist

And I insist the world owes me a loving

I want to be thrilled to desperation

I want to be thrilled starting tonight

With every kind of wonderful sensation

I want to be loved
